His Best In Show was the Peke, Malachy. It’s the 58th BIS for Malachy and owner/handler David Fitzpatrick and gives them what appears to be an insurmountable lead over the field. However, it IS the season for miracles.

Superb win, amongst admirable competition, for a wonderful specimen of the Breed. Goes to show, no need for miracles when the Best comes in a small, but powerful, package!Congratulations, Team Malachy!

To watch the BIS ring was very exciting. Congrats to David and Malachy! He could have chosen any of the final seven and they would have been deserving of the BIS. The best part about the night was watching Pat Trotter trucking around that ring with her beautiful dog. I am half her age and I'm sure I couldn't have done it with the energy and class that she did. Congrats to all 7 group winners!
